states senate. if i am confirmed, one of the first things i intended to do is sit down with senator menendez and senator corker and invite all of the members of this committee to come together, hopefully at a time when there is no interruption and we can really dig in and talk, talk about how we can have a constructive dialogue and collegial relationship, because even as we pride ourselves on separation of powers and a unique oversight role that the committee place, the challenges in the world are so enormous that we would do our country a disservice if we did not identify the ways we can help each other to confront the unique set of questions globally. if you confirm me, i would take office as secretary proud that the senate is in my blood, but equally proud that so, too, is the foreign service. my father's work under presidents both democrat and republican took me and my siblings around the world on a personal journey that brought on the sacrifices and commanded that the men and women of the forei

there have been a couple of recent statements made by the current israeli ambassador to the united states, the former ambassador and now the former deputy minister that were fairly positive about me. host: here is maryland, the republican line. caller: good morning. i just wanted to say that i think he is a good choice. i think he tries to be objective. his point yesterday about iraq was very well taken that the war should not have happened in the first place. regardless of whether or not the surge or not. it was based on lies. perception area -- deception. it was a tragedy. the other thing i found interesting, the israeli -- i found it interesting to watch all these interactions going on. when you look at the middle east, it is a complex issue. what is happening in palestine is a tragedy because you do have military occupations going on. these people's plans are being taken away. i think it is refreshing to get somebody who can be honest about that and say hey, listen, there are two signs -- signs -- sides and they are wrong. guest: that is one of the main selling points about chuck hage

the attorney general of the united states, eric holder, during the richmond program, he called it a cookie cutter approach to solving crime. he did not have a lot of enthusiasm about it. i remember 7 -- senator sessions held a hearing. the department of justice said that a drug dealer with a gun is a guppy and we cannot concentrate on guppies. those studies are what are ruining neighborhoods, destroying lives, and killing people. we've got to confront their behavior and take them off the street. they do not obey by all the laws that we have now. we've got to get real with what works and does not. my problem with background checks is that you are never going to get criminals to go through universal background checks. and of the law-abiding people, you will create an enormous federal theocracy -- bureaucracy, unfunded, and people have to pay the fees, pay the taxes. we do not even prosecute anybody right now that goes through the system we have. we will make all of those law- abiding people go through the system and then we will not prosecute any of the bad guys if they do catch one. none of
